THE VANGUARDS — 1ST BATTALION, 18TH INFANTRY REGIMENT

This isn't merch. It's a marker of belonging.

THE RECORD SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.
The 1st Battalion, 18th Infantry Regiment — the Vanguards — have answered every call since 1812. Philippine Insurrection. World War I. World War II. Vietnam. Desert Storm. Iraq. Eight campaigns. One unbroken lineage. Their Distinguished Unit Insignia isn't decoration — it's a citation in cloth.
This hoodie was built to carry that weight. An 8.0 oz/yd² 50/50 cotton-polyester heavy blend gives it the structure to last. No side seams. Clean silhouette. Kangaroo pocket. Tear-away label. The DUI prints large across the back — the way a unit citation should be worn: with no apology.
For veterans of the regiment. For families who waited. For those who simply know what the Vanguards stood for.
